Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior-Chapter 121 - 108: Turning the Tables, Thunderstruck with a Flick!

He only knew that his brother had died, was killed by someone, and the person who killed Shangguan Feng's brother must pay with their life.

So Shangguan Feng used the power of the Qingfeng Gang to track down that an assassin had taken the bounty on his brother Zhou Qing, and after a series of investigations, he finally locked onto Li Feiyu.

Shangguan Feng had already sent Liu Qing last year to bribe a constable from the Demon Slayer Bureau and constantly monitored the bureau's movements. Finally, the day before yesterday, he discovered Li Feiyu's whereabouts.

However, Liu Qing, who was skilled in stealth techniques, was instead discovered by Li Feiyu. Fortunately, Liu Qing was clever. He claimed that Shangguan Feng usually enjoyed associating with heroes and offered the Muscle Strengthening Formula as bait, finally luring in the one who killed his brother.

Tonight, Shangguan Feng had set up a Banquet of Hongmen specifically for Su Mu and secretly gathered many trusted operatives within his Qingfeng Gang. There were four Seventh-Grade Muscle-Enhancing Martial Artists, and counting him and Liu Qing, there were six Seventh-Grade Muscle-Enhancing Martial Artists in total.

Such a luxurious lineup for a besiegement, even if Li Feiyu was strong, tonight he couldn't escape even with wings!

The reason they hadn't acted immediately was simply because Shangguan Feng was calculating by nature, which was one of the reasons he could rise swiftly to become the Vice Gang Leader of Qingfeng Gang.

In his eyes, Su Mu was already a turtle in a jar, fish on a chopping block, ready to be dealt with at any moment.

And how could the vengeance for killing a brother let Li Feiyu die so easily?

Plus, this 'Li Feiyu' had recently gained significant fame and was said to have undeniable connections with the Vajra Temple; his strength couldn't be underestimated. Shangguan Feng wanted to take down Li Feiyu at the lowest cost.

To prevent Li Feiyu from lashing out in a desperate final attack and causing casualties, Shangguan Feng planned to first provoke him and then seize the opportunity when he showed a flaw in his anger and capture him in one go.

As for the consequences of killing an assassin?

This Tongfu Restaurant was his Qingfeng Gang's property, several streets away from the Government Office on Cyan Cloud Street. Tonight, everyone here was Shangguan Feng's people, and it was easy to destroy the evidence.

Even if the Demon Slayer Bureau investigated afterward, he could easily make up an excuse, for example, that this Unparalleled Boxing and Stick Skills Hero Li had an accident after drinking. Wouldn't they just fabricate a story?

The group laying the Banquet of Hongmen led by Shangguan Feng now quietly watched, waiting for Su Mu's angry reaction.

Unbeknownst to them, Su Mu had already seen through this Banquet of Hongmen from the beginning. The fury they anticipated on Su Mu's face was absent; his cold face remained calm and indifferent from start to finish.

Even the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, showing a hint of joy and a smile.

Shangguan Feng's heart suddenly trembled upon seeing that smile. His calculating mind quickly turned, but he still couldn't figure out what flaw could exist in today's trap, especially since Li Feiyu was already in it.

Shangguan Feng's fingers suddenly tightened around the wine cup, the gentleness in his eyes like a receding tide: "Hero Li, coming alone to the gathering shows extraordinary resolve and heroism. Unfortunately..."

The wine in the cup shimmered with a blood-red glow, "You have offended the wrong person. I, as the Gang Leader, toast you one last drink. Please!"

"Boom!"

Su Mu, unafraid, casually opened the wine gourd on the table and was about to take a swig when a disciple of Qingfeng Gang, who had poured him wine earlier, suddenly shouted coldly.

"Our Gang Leader is toasting you as a hero. Li Feiyu, are you refusing to drink a toast only to drink a forfeit instead?!"

Before the words were finished.

Su Mu's fingertips gently brushed the mouth of the wine gourd, and a drop of wine swirled into a round water pearl, which he flicked with a finger.

"Whizz!"

In everyone's eyes, this seemingly insignificant droplet of water shot out violently, transforming into an arrow under Su Mu's flick, as thunder reverberated in the air.

"Pfft!"

The Qingfeng Gang disciple who had taunted never realized that death was descending upon him, as the perfectly round water pearl precisely struck his brow, explosively releasing an indescribable destructive force.

The skull of this Second Bone Forging Qingfeng Gang disciple shattered like paper under that seemingly harmless water pearl, instantly turning into an exploded watermelon, dousing nearby Qingfeng Gang disciples in blood.

Blood and brain matter erupted in the hall, and the corpse collapsed with a roar, while on the wall behind bloomed a strange, blood-red lotus.

The exploding blood mist and wisps of green smoke formed a bloody fog, filling the hall with a rich scent of blood.

With Pill Force infused, even Flying Snow could kill. At this moment, the water pearl imbued with Pill Force could equally kill. In the eyes of the crowd, this seemingly trivial water pearl, witnessed by all, annihilated a Bone Forging Realm Qingfeng Gang disciple right before their eyes.

In the previous breath, Li Feiyu seemed like fish on a chopping board, but in the next, he suddenly rose up to kill, even using a drop of wine to blast a person to death right under their noses.

For a moment, the hall fell into dead silence. The sneering and laughing vanished, replaced by astonishment and shock on everyone's faces. Everyone present, including Vice Gang Leader Shangguan Feng, had their pupils contract sharply.

The few Seventh-Grade Muscle-Enhancing Martial Artists like Shangguan Feng could also kill with water droplets; with the aid of tendon power and strength, they might exert all their might to blast a commonplace person who doesn't practice martial arts.

But the person Li Feiyu killed with the water droplet was no ordinary person, it was a martial artist who had undergone Second Bone Forging, and Li Feiyu's strike was executed so casually, it was clear he didn't even use his full strength.

Moreover, precisely controlling the water droplet to detonate after piercing through the skull was something no one among them could accomplish, far from it.

The condensing, mighty toughness and the exquisite application of power demonstrated by Li Feiyu was truly terrifying, beyond everyone present's comprehension of power.

"How is this possible?!"

A brief moment of silence was shattered by an exclamation, and at this moment, a water droplet had tagged onto Su Mu's finger.

Instantly, next to the recently deceased, a Qingfeng Gang disciple who had earlier deliberately overflowed the drink for Su Mu felt his whole body dip into an icehouse; as a calm gaze fell upon him, he shivered as if electrified, raising goosebumps all over.

Besides the dead person, he was the most conspicuous in his mocking taunts just now.

"No, Vice Gang Leader, save me!"

The Qingfeng Gang disciple cried out in terror towards Shangguan Feng for help, knowing well that Li Feiyu's next target must be him. If the Vice Gang Leader didn't intervene, he'd be dead!

By Shangguan Feng's side, the cold-faced, lean Gale Saber Zheng Shan suddenly stood up, his right hand resting on the hilt of a long saber strapped to the waist of the Qingfeng Gang disciple beside him.

"Hiss!"

Sparks flew as the blade scraped the scabbard, whipping out suddenly, a cold light flashed, and he slashed down in front of that Qingfeng Gang disciple, intending to use the saber's body to block this strike from Su Mu and save this Qingfeng Gang disciple from his hand.

Su Mu was leisurely, waiting for Zheng Shan to draw his saber before flicking his fingers; the water droplet roared explosively, unexpectedly arriving first despite being initiated later.

"Clang!"

The moment the water droplet touched the blade, Zheng Shan's previously sneering face froze, followed by a drastic change in expression as the refined iron long saber he drew was directly pierced through on contact.

The trajectory of the water droplet flicked from Su Mu's fingertip didn't diminish, landing once more on the forehead of the Qingfeng Gang disciple, instantly splitting skin and shaking muscled and bone.

A thumb-sized bloody hole ripped open in an instant in the forehead. As the body trembled, eyes widened, mouth opening and closing, vainly trying to utter something, but no sound came out.

Even though the Vice Gang Leader had someone step in to save him, he couldn't evade death.

Pffft!

Yet another good head exploded like a smashed watermelon, with another corpse crashing heavily to the ground.

Two water droplets consecutively killed two people, even under the intervention of the Seventh-Grade Muscle-Enhancing Gale Saber Zheng Shan.

As the first figure in Qingshui Town, of the same Bone Forging Realm as the former Black Tiger Gang Leader Zhao Xuan, the two Qingfeng Gang disciples were utterly powerless in Su Mu's hands and were blown away.

They didn't even get the chance to let out a cry!

Once again, the hall fell into deadly silence. Everyone's throat moved inadvertently swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

After consecutively killing two people, Su Mu displayed a calm demeanor taking a sip of wine, as if the murderer just now wasn't him but someone else.

"Vice Gang Leader Shangguan, it seems there were two mad barking dogs just now, disrupting our drinking pleasure. I've helped take care of them for you, no need to thank me."

Su Mu swallowed a mouthful of medicinal wine, stared calmly and spoke lightly at Shangguan Feng.

"Vice Gang Leader Shangguan is a straightforward person, so I'll also be blunt. I didn't actually intend to make a deal with you tonight..."

"Tonight, I don't want to pay, but I also want the Muscle Strengthening Formula. I advise you to hand over the formula; if you can satisfy me, I may even leave you a whole corpse!"
